Okay, we have figured out the problem with the authentication and we are working on a fix for the Steam version exe and hope to have the tested and turned around as soon as we can.

I guess it's the same authentication issue that we had with Command: Northern Inferno. Thanks for finding a fix, Capn.

yes sir, steam version. just freezes at the cdkey screen, then the steam client bootstrapper stops working and i cant shutdown steam, says to shutdown FPRS first. When i look in the task manager only process running game related is the automenu, which im guessing is for FPC, which i cant shutdown using end process.Have to reboot system.

Win7 64

Cool. I knew it'd be fixed, once it was clear I wasn't the only one with the problem micons/m11.gif. Stuff happens.

Budd, you have a different problem from the rest. It sounds like you can't even start the game to get told you can't play the new scenarios. Might be worth doing a file integrity check as step one. Next would be to see if your steam version is fully up to date. Then go for delete local game files and download again and reinstall.

roger that

verified game cache, 8 files needed to be re-aquired. Tried to start game, froze at same cdkey screen. Steam bootstrapper stopped running, screen with choice wait for program to respond or shutdown program. I shutdown program, bring steam window back up, see under FPC game still running, try to shutdown steam, prompts to shutdown FPC first, can't shut steam down.Check task manager, see 3 instances of automenu running, can only shut down one. Going to reboot and delete local content and download again.

Deleted local content, downloaded again, still same issue. While it was frozen at the cdkey screen i did go into task manager and saw that again there was 3 instances of autorun exe. running. I could shutdown steam through task manager, but when i restarted steam it showed FPC as still running. I could only end task on 1 instance of the autorun exe. the other 2 i can only make go away by rebooting my computer.

Budd, I had the same problem and solved by downloading Steam again (maybe is a new release) and installing OVER your installed version.

Did you see the update download and install through Steam? Do you mean when you click "Play Game" from the initial game menu? Is that game menu labeled with the Germany Reforged logo?

same problem chicco....me too had germany reforged not starting.

Erik...I restarted Steam, saw the download (5.8 MB size), then started the game, saw the germany reforged logo, and when I need to choose between read manual or play game, I click play game but nothing happen.
I cleaned the local files of the game, redownloaded, installed again, ttried second time, same problem [&:]

EDIT : game not starting but I see on the left side of Steam interface window that the game is running.... but nothing happen

EDIT 2: If I go to task manager on Windows, I see 3 process named "FPRS.exe *32" (120 kb) running....not possible to close those processes...dont know if game related, but restarting windows, going on task manager again, those processes are not there...they appear only after starting the game I think.
